The Museum of Nevis History The Museum of Nevis History, is a rare treat for persons of all ages and is the largest collection of Nelson memorabilia in the western hemisphere. It is the Caribbean's newest museum presenting a story of Nevis and Nelson. http://www.nevis-nhcs.org/nelsonmuseum.html  Hamilton Estate The volcanic stone windmill tower and late 19th century steam engine are all that remain of a once thriving sugar estate. It last produced sugar in the early 1950's. Nevis Peak Nevis Peak, the 985 m high point of the island, is located on the outer crater rim. The inner crater truncates the western rim of the earlier crater and is widely breached on the west side. A small lava dome was emplaced within the inner crater. Jewish Cemetery One of the most popular historic sites on the island of Nevis is the Jewish Cemetery located on Government Road in Charlestown. The nineteen grave markers spanning the period from 1679 to 1730 still survives today. Memorial Square Charlestown The enclosure of the square itself has palm trees and a flamboyant tree, an attractive hedge of flowering bougainvillea, a lawn, nice benches, and a solemn memorial in the center to the Nevis dead of WWI and WWII. Eden Brown Estate Eden Brown Estate was originally a sugar plantation, but cotton was grown there until the mid-1900's. But the circa 1740 plantation, with a great house and other outbuildings has a history unlike many of the other plantations. The Botanical Gardens of Nevis Hundreds of tropical species, whose origins span the globe, are assembled here to create seven heavenly acres and the foremost botanical display in the Caribbean. http://www.botanicalgardennevis.com Cotton Ginnery Recently restored for shops and a restaurant, the cotton ginnery is again bustling with activity as it did in the days when growing cotton was a key island industry. This was where cotton was ginned and packed into bales before shipment to England. Nevisian Heritage Village The Nevisian Heritage Village administered by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, largely depicts the evolution of Nevisian social history through housing. |
